The concept of measurement
"Calculation is the assignment of a numerical value to an item feature, like the length of a pencil.
At more advanced levels, calculation consists of assigning a number as is the case with the
consumer price index to a characteristic of a situation." What's a longer object?
Measurement helps to describe the number of our world. The numbers we use describe things
simple like length, weight and temperature, but also complex things like pressure, speed and
luminosity. A student's understanding of how these phenomena are connected to numbers, a
knowledge of common measuring devices like inches, liters, and miles per hour, as well as
practical knowledge of measuring tools and techniques are essential for their worldwide
understanding.
Importance of measurement in young children
Measuring tools and skills are used in daily life for various purposes. Measuring instruments,
rulers, thermometers and scales are necessary to measure and estimate the world around us with
these tools. They can tell us how big we're, how hot we're, how heavy we're to drink and how far
it's away. Basic distance and time measures allow us to calculate acceleration and speed and
eventually say how quickly a rocket needs to be designed for moon access and how populations
can change and grow. In the connection between the strands of mathematics measurement is
important. For example, it provides the use of numerical and spatial skills with a rich and
meaningful framework.

Measurement is also linked to other school topics in mathematics. In many games and sports,
measurement and especially estimation skills are important. They also have a role in some
artistic and musical experiences as well as being needed for many scientific studies (Mencattini&
Mari, 2015).
Identify the cognitive and mathematical developmental milestones of babies, toddlers,
preschoolers, primary school children (foundation level and stage 1) related to
Measurements.
